For that reason, I’ve written this blog which includes the typical tourist attractions of Havana as well as the lesser-known local secrets that you won’t want to miss in order to fully understand Havana and its unique charm. I experienced a side of the city that many often miss. I was lucky enough to spend more time in Havana than most. Of course, it all boils down to how you want to spend your time there. Only then you’ll realize that there is much more to discover than rum, cigars, and beautiful beaches. Get to know the roots, the ideology, and the feelings of Cuban people. Havana wouldn’t be the same without its people, its music, and its folklore. Sure, you can ride in a vintage topless car and tour Old Havana – but there’s more to this city than that. But of course, with all of the amazing things to do in Havana, it can be hard to know where you can best spend your time. Visiting Havana gives you a chance to step back in time and enjoy the simple things in life.
